Features: This book is a specialized monograph compiled to meet the needs of graduate student training. It consists of fifteen chapters, divided into two volumes. The first volume was published in 1982 and reprinted in 1986 and 1998. Except for Chapter as the introduction to the entire book, it systematically and thoroughly elucidates the fundamentals of heat conduction theory, radiation heat transfer theory, and convective heat transfer theory. It emphasizes clear physical concepts and rigorously establishes corresponding mathematical models based on the physical models of the processes, focusing on inspiring fundamental perspectives and methods for engineering applications and analytical research. The second volume continues to explain convective heat transfer theory, heat transfer during phase change, thermal design and calculation of heat exchangers, heat transfer in porous media, heat transfer, mass transfer, and some special topics in modern heat transfer. The content of the second volume is closely coordinated with the first volume, with a consistent and unified style throughout the book. With a 15-year gap in publication dates between the two volumes, the requirements for graduate training have adapted to the needs of the new century, emphasizing broader specialization. Each chapter in the second volume has realistically highlighted the cutting-edge research trends in current high-tech development to broaden horizons. This book can serve as a reference for researchers engaged in heat transfer studies and high-tech development research involving heat and mass transfer, as well as for engineering design personnel. It is also suitable for university teachers and students, including those in interdisciplinary fields who need to strengthen their foundational knowledge and application of heat and mass transfer.
